This study explores the occupational preferences of 150 kindergarten and elementary school children living in urban, semi-urban and rural areas in Greece and the stereotypes that emerge from the choices they made when they were asked to make a drawing of ‘what they would like to be when they grow up’ and then to justify that choice. The statistical analysis of the data confirmed the findings made in previous studies: The analysis of variance showed that (a) the stereotypical representation of gender is more frequent among girls, (b) gender affects the choice of gender-typed occupations, as indicated by the boys’ more frequent choice of ‘traditionally masculine occupations’, (c) the educational background of the father affects children’s stereotyped choices, and (d) media and family influence is more frequent among younger children. Finally, the children’s justifications showed that, for the majority of the sample, their choice of occupation expresses a specific feeling, for a smaller percentage this choice expresses a certain playfulness, while for only a few does their choice express the desire for further knowledge and profit.

ABSTRAKMunculnya berbagai penyakit yang sering menyerang anak usia sekolah, umumnya berkaitan dengan pemahaman anak tentang apa itu hidup bersih dan sehat, serta penerapan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehatan (PHBS) dan pemahaman anak tentang apa itu hidup bersih dan sehat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara pengetahuan dan PHBS anak sekolah dasar terhadap kejadian sakit yang di alami di  masa pandemi Covid-19 ini. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan rancangan studi potong lintang dilakukan dengan melibatkan 58 anak sekolah dasar yang berada di wilayah perkotaan dan pedesaan Kabupaten Banyumas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, sebagian besar siswa memiliki pengetahuan tentang gizi dan kesehatan yang masih rendah (62,1%), meski demikian, siswa yang menerapkan PHBS dengan baik sudah lebih banyak (63,8%). Uji chi-square antara pengetahuan siswa dengan kejadian sakit diperoleh nilai p=0.051, dan antara penerapan PHBS siswa dengan kejadian sakit nilai p = 0.478. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan dan PHBS terhadap kejadian sakit anak sekolah dasar di wilayah perkotaan dan pedesaan Kabupaten Banyumas.Kata kunci: Anak Sekolah Dasar, Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat, Pedesaan. ABSTRACTVarious diseases that often attack school-age children, are generally related to children's understanding of what is clean and healthy living, as well as the application of clean and healthy living habits (PHBS) and children's understanding of what is clean and healthy living. This study aims to see the relationship between knowledge and PHBS of elementary school children on the incidence of illness during the pancemic of Covid-19. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design was carried out involving 58 elementary school children in urban and rural areas of Banyumas Regency. The results showed that most students had low knowledge of nutrition and health (62.1%), however, there were already more students who had implemented PHBS properly (63.8%). Chi-square test between students 'knowledge and the incidence of illness obtained p value = 0.051, and between the application of students' PHBS and the incidence of illness p = 0.478. It can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between knowledge and PHBS on the incidence of illness in primary school children in urban and rural areas of Banyumas Regency. Keywords: School-age children, Cleand and Healthy Living Habits (PHBS), urban, rural area.

Comparatively few speciallised investigations of the physical development of school children seem to have been made in this country. The most comprehensive British investigation is that made by Arthur Greenwood. This enquiry, based on the published annual reports of the various Educational Authorities, as well as those that preceded it, did not touch the main problem of the present study; viz. the relation between physique and mentality. Miss E. M. Elderton, a year later, made a careful biometric study of the school populatin of Glasgow.

Children living in rural areas are prone to nutritional deficiencies. Low-income levels impact people’s purchasing power so that the intake of most nutrients comes from plant-based foods and consumes less animal food. Nutritional intake greatly affects the development of children’s cognitive function. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a group of neurotrophins that contribute greatly to the learning process and memory. This study aims to analyze the relationship between levels of BDNF with the level of intelligence in elementary school children in rural areas of Seluma Regency. This was a cross-sectional study involving 70 elementary school children aged 9-12 years were taken by multi-stage random sampling, who came from 5 districts of Seluma Regency. Blood was collected for measurement of BDNF levels, and stool samples were examined to detect intestinal parasites. The data on respondent characteristics were derived from questionnaires.  Data analysis were done by using the chi-square test. The results of BDNF measurements found 31 children (44.3%) had BDNF levels below the average (<3342.95ng / mL). The results of measuring intelligence level found that 54 children (77.1%) had a level of intelligence below the average. Chi-Square test results obtained p = 0.012 with a PR value of 7.538. There was a significant  association between the BDNF level and intelligence level in elementary school students in the rural area. Elementary school children in rural areas with BDNF levels below the average risk of 7.538 times have below-average intelligence levels.

Elementary school children are one of the group that can easily get malnutrition because of some factors such as low economic level of the family, unbalanced food nutrition, and lack of knowledge of the parents. A good nutrition status of children is affected by parenting system because children need supervision from the parents for their nutrition needs. Parenting system is a form of interaction in which the parents pay their attention on their children's needs especially for the children's growth process. The purpose of this research is to find out which parenting systems that are applied toward feeding their elementary school children at Binaus Village. This research used quantitative descriptive method with the total participants were 117 parents of 146 children. Questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data analysis used was univariat and the result showed that the majority of mother at Binaus Village, district of Mollo Tengah (Central Mollo), Timor tengah Selatan, East Nusa Tenggara Province, applied authoritative parenting system (79,5%). Although the parents have less amount of income and lack of educational background, the application of authoritative parenting system at Binaus Village is high.

Light-eyed individuals generally perform better at self-paced activities while dark-eyed individuals perform better at reactive activities. A 2 (boy, girl) by 2 (light-eyed, dark-eyed) by 4 (Grades 1, 2, 3, 4) analysis of variance was performed on number of rope jumps in 15 sec. There was no difference among the children with different eye-colors, but there were expected differences by grade and sex. The older children of higher grades jumped more times than the younger children of lower grades, and girls jumped more than did boys.

Abstrak: Banyak ditemukan terutama di daerah pedalaman para siswa atau anak-anak SD kemampuan berhitungnya sangat kurang. Hal ini berbeda dengan di daerah perkotaan atau sekolah-sekolah maju yang sudah menerapkan metode berhitung sangat cepat. Oleh sebab itu, perlu adanya kegiatan dosen di lapangan atau di tengah masyarakat yang membantu anak-anak SD tersebut untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berhitung mereka. Karena kemampuan berhitung ini menjadi dasar perhitungan operasi matematika yang banyak diterapkan di kehidupan sehari-hari. Salah satu metode yang produktif dalam kegiatan ini adalah menggunakan metode jarimatika yang melibatkan organ tubuh siswa sendiri secara langsung, sehingga mampu meningkatkan efisiensi kecepatan berhitung siswa.Kata Kunci : Kesulitan Berhitung, Jarimatika Abstract:. Many are found especially in rural areas of students or elementary school children whose numeracy is lacking. This is different from in urban areas or advanced schools that have implemented very fast counting methods. Therefore, it is necessary to have lecturers in the field or in the community who help the elementary school children to improve their numeracy skills. Because the ability to count is the basis for calculating mathematical operations that are widely applied in everyday life. One of the productive methods in this activity is using the method of fingerprinting which involves the student's own body organs directly, so as to improve the efficiency of student's numeracy speed.Keywords: Difficulty Counting, Jarimatika.
